Rachel Hollis Instagram – Advice to a Younger Me… get a journal and write it all down.
Write about the good stuff and the hard stuff and the bird splashing in the puddle on the sidewalk.
Write about the first time you had a cappuccino at 16 and swore you’d never drink coffee again.
Write about the boy who kissed you sweetly and then shoved his hand inside your bra. Write about how you were too scared to tell him to stop even though it hurt.
Write about the first day of school.
Write about your favorite English teacher, and how much you hate algebra. You’ll still have nightmares about being in that algebra class when you’re 40, so this unpacking might save us both some time.
Write about Mama and Daddy.
Write about braces. Write about how much you hate your hair. Write about TRL and pop music and how free you felt to drive by yourself when you first got your license.
Write about how your mom signed up you for cake decorating classes at the local Michaels without asking you first, and you totally hated it. You still know how to make a rose out of royal icing by the way, so it won’t be a total loss.
Write about saving up money to move to LA. Write about playing Wide Open Spaces the whole drive to your new apartment.
Get a journal and write it all down. Because someday, when you’re about 30, you’ll begin to do just that and you’ll wish you had started this precious relationship with yourself much sooner ✨ | Posted on 15/Jun/2023 22:54:31
